Long, long ago there lived a lady
Simple but elegant as any on the shore
She was known for her generous silhouette
And yet
She was known even more for the bathing suit she wore
Once a pirate tried to steal it
It was rumored he was gonna use it for a pirate sail
"I'm innocent of such an act," he cried
"The fact is that's a perfect diaper for a baby whale"
Sweet grandma's eyes
How they could charm you
Five generations of loving friends she made
All the children enjoyed her in many ways
Some days
When the sun was a scorcher, Grandma Otter was their shade
Even so it was her bathing suit that made her famous
It was almost heaven sent
ย
Many times when it was drying on the line
A tourist would mistake it for a circus tent
ย
Now she has gone
Now she has left us
Left with sweet memories
And left with something more
We've made curtains and handkerchiefs
And clothing for the poor
From the one bathing suit that your Grandma Otter wore
From the one bathing suit that your Grandma Otter wore
